I want to be the one who brings home the mula! My husband has worked hard and had been thru anough stress from work as it is, I just want to make a decent amount to be ok when they give him the boot. It has put a little strain on our marriage but whats new,right!?!
So this is what i've tried and failed.1) I've tried Herbalife and was not good at it thus i gave up.there is nothing bad about it all its just that I felt that i had to know ppl advertizing. and there were these fees one had to pay each and every month to keep it going. I became broke...WE-nearly filed for bankrupcy because of my careless act. (can anyone relate)
but the way i see it? Its a lesson learned! i think that if i saw it any other way, i dont think i'd have servive to care for our kids.
someone suggested we split while he gets back on his feet...BAD ADVISE. A family stays together NO MATTER WHAT. especially in our situation.
2)i signed up for a secret shopper job and i did my research...but i was WAY WAY WAY off. and naieve. I am not ashamed of being like that but thats me!I got scammed out of thousands. Now because of that no one in his family looks at me the same. and its not ok..but its fine! im trying to keep a positive prespective here =)
even now they are trying to take my girls from me, telling people im an unfit mother. Im not an unfit mother and believe me, i know what an unfit mother is.
so less than a yr later im at it again, making money the easy way. online. some people think doing that will only leave me broke and depressed. i have more to add but
at this moment i have 2 6-yr-olds up and a toddler wide awake-thus leaving me w/out quiet time lol! BRB!

i dont see how being scammed by accident makes you an unfit mother.. i think you need to tell whoever is saying that to you, that it could easily have happened to them, and its no different from being robbed on the street! and i doubt very much them being mugged would make them unfit parents!!
making money online isn't bad. try microworkers. do you want me to mail you the link? thats great. i've only been on it actually doing anything, about 4 or 5 times, and i've made over $15.. so its pretty good like.
maybe you could try doing avon? or selling things on ebay?

yeah..it tore me up inside. actually his sister told me that. and then they both got together and talked to someone else about asking me to give my girls to her(cuz she wants them and thinks she can be a better mother than i) I dont know much about the workplace but i do know how to be a great mother! I dont talk to his sister anymore because(this is gonna be long so i hope ur eyes dont get tiredLOL) after i came home and we were down -3,000 in our bacnk account tina came to visit and i was reading the school rules my daughter was going to attend and she told me like very mean and ugly, she said veronica what u did and she shook her head. I have NOT ate in 3 days because i was beating myself up for my stupidity and i just sucked in my pain and tears and i told her i know tina. and she was like no u dont know. u hurt ur girls my brother y didn't u listen to Monica. and then she told me something that made me look at her differently..she said veronica i was doing these things to u, for u just to be nice. I thought she was doing those things(giving me 20$ here and there giving me little things and visiting us u know stuff sister in laws do-i thought she was being herself u know but she was doing all that just to be 'nice'. i didnt want that. to me its like asking the hubby to do something but u dont want him to do it unless he wants to..u know?!
but yeah im doing different things to make money online but havent made a dime-yet! but im not giving up! i LOVE LOVE doing this MyLot writeing! but yea send me the link, if its not too much trouble!

your husband talked about giving your girls away as well? are you serious?!? how did you cope with that???!! thats actually a really terrible story. well these things happen and at the end of the day what doesnt kill us will only make us stronger.. his sister needs to check herself, because $3,000? big deal!! people loose more in casinos for christs sake!! and it's not like you killed anyone!! .. i hate that, people who act like because you made a mistake, you've destroyed half the human population or something! ..
well i've just sent you 3 links, so hopefully you'll get on track :)

i can perfectly understand what you are saying because it is so hard to earn money nowadays... especially with the rate the economy is going at the moment... i also have to work really hard to help my hubby to fufill our daily expenses for the past 5 years and it is not easy at all... so i can fully understand what you mean... take care and have a nice day...

I see in your post that your husband is anticipating being let go, and you really want to earn a substantial amount of money and help the entire household. Nothing wrong with that. I see that you have made some similar mistakes to the ones I have made, and I am much older than you, and all you can do is pick yourself up, dust yourself off and try to do a different way. I do not know who is trying to remove your children, but getting scammed is not a reason to do that. I will tell you that there are no real fast ways to build an online income, but there is some money that comes in all of the time. Mystery shopping is not all scams, either. If you want I can give you real ways to find those jobs, but you need to think about what your gas costs you to get to the destination,what you have to spend up front before you are reimbursed, whether or not you need child care, whether or not you can wait about six weeks to get paid. Most shops only clear about $7.50, they involve eating fast food, and taking correct times for waiting and serving, etc. The first thing you need to do to bring in a little money is to be consistent here. MyLot is not a scam, but you will not make a living. You need to quit letting friends cause you to spend money--that is money that you need for your children. Friends make dates to hang out at places that are free. Cheer up, keep your eyes and ears open. If you like to write and can do it well, you can make some money as well.

I think you should concentrate on the better ones, but of course balance your efforts to being a good mother to your kids. Don't mind what others think, it's not like they're perfect people anyway right? Just do your job of being a good mother and you'll be fine. If you're able to exert extra efforts in earning money while keeping your family in a good position then you'll get even better. You'll even feel even better.
Now, for the business part, I think you just have to find a business that's either stable, or high-earning. Stable, in the sense that it doesn't really earn so much instant money, but then will assure you of a constant income. You just have to make it grow in time. This will require patience and hardwork, considering that you're a mother of very young kids.
You might also want to try some MLM businesses, although there are a lot of those that seem "low-earning."
I do know one, and if you're interested just let me know. :)
By the way, you seem to be a Filipino. Am I correct?

Lets put it this way being nearly broke does not qualify you to be an unfit mother. It just happened that out of your concern for your husband you tried help him in generating income for the family. Believe me,the place where I live once I saw reckless mothers everyday going about there business but in your situation it is far from that. I pray that you will have the courage continue to cope up with your struggle and never give up on your family. Good luck.
